Location on beach great, condo had issues

We enjoyed the beach and the surf. The June weather made the warm golf wonderful. The room on the other hand had issues. As others stated, it is directly over the bar. I wondered why the hotel would have a room listed on a site like this. And you get what you paid for. The noise from the bar/pool left little quiet time in the condo. The smoking lounge directly below the balcony made spending time outside unbreathable. The refrigerator had issues and would make a loud popping sound. So between the sound of the bar finally ending and the early morning pops from the fridge, sleep wasn't an added bonus to this vacation.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the feedback. The Tiki bar and pool are required to quiet down by 10:00pm, however if there is an event, they do sometimes go over. We do apologize for any disturbance, and will continue to try to work with the bar there to know about the disturbance for future Guests.

Awesome on the beach!

This place is not fancy, but comfortable and met our needs perfectly. You simply could not have a better location, right on a beautiful, uncrowded beach, and conveniently close to everything you could want or need - restaurants, grocery stores, shops, etc. The hotel staff was super-friendly and helpful for checkin/checkout, restaurant suggestions, and printing boarding passes. Our favorite restaurants were Sea Hags and PJs Oyster Bar. It was fun enjoying the live entertainment at Sea Hags and Ricky Ts. Looking forward to coming back! Although the unit had beach chairs and umbrella, we splurged and rented the nicer ones on the beach.

Great for the price

Everything about this condo and location were amazing!!!! ( only problem we had was really bad weather - didn't stop raining our whole trip and we never got to the beach :( ) However that aside - this was not the fault of the property and it was exactly what we expected. Yes you are on the second floor above the tiki bar - but you are also facing what would have been the most beautiful view ( if not for the weather) and the fact that you are near the tiki bar is probably why the price is so reasonable - We cannot wait to return to this paradise... Its small but was PERFECT for my husband, myself and our teenage daughter

Great location on the beach

I wish I could give this property a 5-star review, but can only give it a 3-star review. The condo itself was well-stocked and had a great beachfront location, but the being on the second floor directly over the bar and pool area was a definite downside. Three out of the four nights we were there, there was music and bar noise until late. One day, there was a large party that started at noon and continued with some of the partygoers yelling, cussing and carrying on until at least midnight. The on-site staff did not seem bothered by it. If this condo was moved to the top floor, it could possibly warrant a higher rating. It was nice that it stocked with beach chairs, towels and umbrella, but the umbrella needs to be replaced. The sleep sofa could also use a memory foam mattress pad, as it was a little uncomfortable for multiple nights. Treasure Island was lovely, and I would love to return, but I do not think I would return to this condo.

great beachfront studio with private balcony

This property was affordable and in a great location. The room has lots of space for two but can sleep up to four people. The view was outstanding and the kitchen had everything we needed. I wish we had known there were beach chairs, an umbrella and a large cooler in the closet for our use, as we dragged these things all the way from Michigan. The addition of a broom to sweep up sand would be nice.

The pool is very crowded with very little deck around it, but the beautiful beach made up for that.

The only problem was a paint crew with a scaffold that started every morning at eight and was right on our balcony at different times of the day-quite an unpleasant surprise when walking into your room-some notice would have been nice.

Great, Affordable Small Place on the Beach

We stayed here last minute the week of Thanksgiving 2015. It is an efficiency, with one QS bed and a full pull out couch all in the same big room as the chair, TV, table, chairs and kitchenette. It sounds really squished, but it was a long room from the opening of the door to the sliding patio doors which take you on a PRIVATE balcony overlooking the pool area and straight onto the beach. The place was clean and pretty modern. Sure it could have been more modern and bigger, but then we would have ended up at a large hotel paying everything from high rates, parking, "resort fees", etc., etc. Here, we paid one price and got a great, comfortable, clean condo sitting right on the beach. The little Tiki bar by the pool is really relaxing too. The people that work there a whole lot of fun. I highly recommend this unit for an affordable, enjoyable getaway! It was EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR!!! Thank you. Hope to stay here again.
